Says at the end we'd be stupid to turn down 60m? If he goes to Utd for 60m it will come back to haunt us. Worse than the Matic sale.

I don't think Matic came back to haunt us. 

Just that we bought wrong. Or who knows Bakayoko might improve this new season, but Matic sell was right and so will be Willian. 

The problem is who we are buying.

I wasn't saying that Matic came back to haunt us.. but it made them stronger. I agree 40m for Matic was hard to turn down and it was a good move overall.

But this time, doing the same again with Willian is just giving Jose the tools he won the league with, Matic and Willian were 2 of our main men that season. Getting 60m for Willian from a rival is not good business in my opinion, name me someone better we could sign for 60m, you think they would sell us Sanchez for 60m?
